Part 1: Waste Stream Calculation

This calculation will estimate the quantity of trash and recycling
that will be generated from this property. Once the waste quantity is
estimated, the information can be used to design trash and recycling
collection areas that will provide adequate storage capacity and truck
access.

Directions: Determine the total number of residential units
of all buildings on the property. The size of the units does
not matter. Multiply that number by the Annual Waste Generation Rate of
2.15 tons per unit. See illustrated formula below.

The Annual Waste Generation Rate of 2.15 tons/unit is derived from the
U.S. EPA average daily per-person waste generation rate and U.S. Census
average household size.

The plan design must include elements that will provide for the
proper, legal, and safe storage and collection of all solid waste.
Include the following information: how the plan design elements will
facilitate the separation of recyclable materials from the waste
stream; how and where solid waste and recyclable materials will be
stored; and, how solid waste and recyclables will be collected. Be sure
to include descriptions of internal and/or external storage,
compactors, balers, chutes, etc.

Use this pattern to help design trash and recycling areas, based on
your calculations in Part 1:

Enter a written description of your solid
waste and recycling system below.

Part 3: Certification of Accuracy and Completeness

I hereby certify that the above information is accurate and complete
to the best of my knowledge. I certify that I have read the
requirements for incorporating recycling systems into the design
process described in Chapter 10 of the Public Facilities Manual. I
understand that any amendments to the plan involving a use or ownership
change will require resubmission of this plan statement.
